Come to the gardens to discover lots of tricks of the trade, like making
use of 'hard surfaces' for growing seasonal food. Last weekend we created this
small 1.5m x 1m no-dig potato patch in a spare corner.
It might not look much
but if you do this at home you can expect do get at 10-30 potatoes from each
potato planted. Which is a good return in anyone's book.
The yield varies
depending on your climate, patch ingredients, type of potatoes, level of after
planting maintenance etc BUT what have you got to loose, except a piece of
driveway perhaps?!
